Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion

Dr. Niall Connors:

In terms of the pan-European strategy, we link in with EASA and the ECDC on protocols and common application and harmonisation of them. That is a very dynamic process. As people learn more about the virus and how to mitigate the risks associated with it or how to combat it in certain circumstances, feedback from different states is informing how that protocol is developing. Equally, at a national level with colleagues in the Department and the protocols around the management of air passengers, a lot of those conversations and how that evolves is informed by our visibility of other European states through other fora, in particular EASA.
